Pond Management Applications

Vac‐Tron Equipment can be used for various clean‐ups involving animal waste and bedding. Large animal environments are cleaned‐up in zoos; animal waste drainage pits, pumping contaminated water out of holding tanks and transferring into disposal tanks, draining and cleaning animal housing ponds, horse stalls for daily maintenance to suck-up urine and solid waste; complete cleaning of bedding area of straw or wood shavings; removes urine that is not good for the horses to smell (like acid or methane gas). Dairy farms implement the same process thereby yielding a cleaner more sanitized living condition for their cows. By utilizing the high pressure water wand to clean ponds, stalls, cages, concrete, landscaping, etc., and removing all animal waste to ensure the health of all animals.

Securing a reliable supply of water for extraction, handling and transportation is vitally important to mining companies looking to expand their operations. These companies will go to great lengths to meet this need, running pipelines hundreds of miles long from desalination plants on the coast and treating wastewater that is conventional held in tailings ponds. Wastewater treatment technologies can recover saleable metal that might otherwise be lost and prevent environmental contamination from highly acidic effluent streams. Developing the infrastructure and technologies to meet these challenges in the mining industry is driving a market worth $11.9 billon.

The Mop type Oil Skimmer has many submissions in refinery plants. Some applications are comprised of cooling ponds, waste water, storage tanks etc. Due to its flexibility the Mop Skimmer can be functional to nearly any application during a refining plant where the fluctuating liquids and water needs separation. Ambar is experienced with explosion proof systems specifically designed for the Petro Chemical waste water applications.

Liquid Waste Technology’s dredging systems are used for power plant cooling water dredge applications. LWT’s dredges are designed to remove the sand, silt and sediment that build up in reception ponds and inlet channels to power plants. Each dredging system is custom built for the inlet water application, including the level of automation, removal rate and dredging depth required for each job.

Controls algae in golf course ponds without expensive chemical treatments or time consuming manual labor. Golf courses should be maintained often and kept in perfect condition to offer golfers an optimal golf experience. A part of the golf course are the ponds on this area. Water in these ponds is often stagnant and thus sensitive to algal growth. Algae in a golf course pond make the water look unappealing and thereby reduce the total impression of the golf course itself. Furthermore maintaining these ponds can be a tiresome task because chemicals are not desirable and other water treatment methods are often cumbersome or just not sufficient.

Water is essential component in the mining and steel industries. The main needs under this aspect are optimizing the management of the resources, improving productivity by treating available water for specific production process requirements and managing environmental risks by treating contaminated pond and underground mine water to remove heavy metals, arsenic and other contaminants for safe discharge into sensitive environment.

Azud develops an special filtration equipment with a favourable response in the main golf complexes in Spain. It is an automatic system that supports a higher pressure (PN 16 bar) and that protects efficiently the microirrigation and sprinkling system, avoiding the clogging of the drippers, and the wearing or block of the nozzles, obtaining therefore, the uniformity of the irrigation.

InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers allow for TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) in soil testing at remediation sites such as leaking
underground storage tanks and produced water evaporation ponds. Site managers can avoid having costly soil remediation equipment
sit idle while waiting for off-site lab results. Sampling requires a few
simple steps that can be performed by non-technical personnel. The soil is mixed with the extraction solvent, shaken, filtered, and
then presented to the InfraCal Analyzer for measurement. Features include:
- Results in under 15 minutes, including extraction
¨ Detect levels as low as 10 ppm
¨ Portable, rugged, lightweight, easy-to-use
¨ Battery operable
¨ Ideal for field or laboratory applications
¨ Factory calibration available

WesTech designs and manufactures thickeners for the coal prep industry for product concentration, tailings disposal and CCD circuit washing, including HiFlo Thickeners and Deep Bed Paste Thickeners. Paste thickening is a proven technology increasing the profitability of mining operations. In the coal preparation plant there are two applications for paste thickening: concentrating fine coal and producing paste from coal tailings for increased water recovery and elimination of tailings ponding. Paste thickeners recover the maximum water possible from tailings streams. Tailings disposal sites have a longer life and the land can be reclaimed faster and easier. New tailings disposal sites can be smaller and significantly less costly.
